Grimsby-born athlete Hollie Arnold has been selected for next year's Commonwealth Games.

The Paralympic F46 javelin champion has chosen to compete for Wales at the Games, the place she lived for several years after leaving Lincolnshire to seek out the best coaching and training opportunities.

Arnold grew up in Holton-le-Clay, went to school in Louth and was a member of Cleethorpes Athletic Club in her younger years.

Still aged only 23, she is indisputably the best in the world in her disability category for her event.

Born without a right fore-arm, she has taken on the world in the javelin and come out on top.

As well as winning gold at the Paralympic games in Rio last year, she is also a three-time world champion. She is also the world record holder for good measure.

The Games take place on Australia's Gold Coast from April 4-15.

Arnold left her Wales-based training group earlier this autumn to train with new coach David Parker at Loughborough.
